Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following is a characteristic property of transition metals that distinguishes them from Group 1 metals?

  1. A: They react vigorously with cold water
  2. B: They form coloured compounds
  3. C: They have low melting points
  4. D: They have only one possible oxidation state
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BB: They form coloured compounds
Transition metals are characterised by forming coloured compounds due to their partially filled d-subshells. Group 1 metals react vigorously with cold water, have relatively low melting points, and form compounds in only one oxidation state (+1), none of which are typical transition metal properties.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student adds sodium hydroxide solution to a solution of copper(II) sulfate. What is the colour of the precipitate formed?

  1. A: Red-brown
  2. B: White
  3. C: Blue
  4. D: Green
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CC: Blue
When sodium hydroxide solution is added to a copper(II) sulfate solution, a blue precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide forms. Red-brown precipitate is characteristic of iron(III) hydroxide, while iron(II) hydroxide gives a green precipitate.

AQA GCSE Chemistry: Transition metals FAQ

How many AQA GCSE Chemistry questions on Transition metals are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Transition metals for AQA GCSE Chemistry, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real AQA paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for AQA GCSE students preparing for Chemistry?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Transition metals practice with other Chemistry topics or even switch to a totally different AQA subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Transition metals questions aligned to the official AQA GCSE Chemistry syllabus?
Every question is written against the published AQA GCSE Chemistry specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real AQA paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from AQA.
How is Transition metals typically tested on AQA GCSE Chemistry papers?
Transition metals appears across multiple question types on real AQA GCSE Chemistry papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
